Shane Wombat's Droppings

G'day, Shane Wombat's mostly weekly Australian photo-blog about photography, history, the arts and his
"Droppings"...tales from the "Tardis" State, aka Victoria and chronicling Australia's inexorable descent into fascism

Saturday, 15 December 2018

I've been a trifle busy recently and
very late with this posting which, in a way is not such a bad thing as it has
seen much of the shrapnel from the explosive Tardis-State election result to
fall back to earth as well as the smoke and fog of its politicking dissipate
enough so that can see more clearly how the landscape has altered and who's
left standing.

Not too many
of the Ruling Rabble, Petals.

Matty, Thug
Guy vacated the leadership and as an indication of how the talent in this cabal
is very thin on the ground was replaced by O'Brien, the Vapid. Their primary
anointed and Le Jongleur, Roskam's nemesis, Pesutto had had his safe seat
kicked out from under himand Finn, the
Pious Lieutenant,then did a "Henderson"
moronically announcing that If the Labor Party and the Greens want to have more
women in the Liberal Party, what "... they should have done, is not
defeated them," and that, "...it would have been a very good thing if
they hadn't run against our women."

And they still wonder why they
lost?

Even veteran
right-wing spruiker, Morticia Savva was dully quiet on "Insiders,"
but in trying to explain why the Ruling Rabble really loved women, she seems to have forgotten that the only women Liberals
ever spoke for wore twin sets, pearls, hounds-tooth pleated skirts, sensible
shoes and blue gingham blouses, with a nice little blue scarf, a pink pullover
draped over the shoulders and their "sunnies" propped up on their
blonde coifs.

Definite smells of panic are emanating from Canberra
as real funk sets in and this Ugly American Murdoch's IPA construct, this ruling
rabble, this petty-minded, nihilistic right wing cabal of the most untalented
dullards ever to soil parliamentary benches are now achieving the dysfunction
of which they had falsely accused Labor since 2011. Their adherence to
"Tea-Party" Republican political terror tactics has backfired
stupendously well as they had neither the imagination nor wit to carry it off
successfully. And for all those jumping ship like the
"I-could-live-on-$40.00-a-day" Banks gel or the rorting Asbestos
Bishop: they are all still tarred with the same damned brush of being the most
incompetent, corrupt and damaging neer-do-wells ever to have office in
Australia. Good riddance. It will take a generation to remedy the destruction
they have wrought.

Scummo hastily announces that a "Federal
Integrity Commission" is no longer a "fringe issue," but one
that doesn't investigate pollies and their staff, which promptly, is howled down
by all and sundry. Then Trump-like, says confusingly that the Oz embassy is to
have its plaque in Jerusalem but office in Tel Aviv and to show what good guys
we really are, we'll return a little of the funding ripped from health and
education in the past years and hit the energy market
"with-a-big-stick" (made of Balsa wood) to stop their
profiteering.... a policy directly at odds with Ruling Rabble capitalism in being willing to ditch their IPA version of "free-market",
free enterprise greed, in order to stay alive
politically.

....what he really meant to say is that he's Adani's Little Aussie Butler!

Then a couple of F-35's arrived... at $25,000.00 per
hour to fly and a range of only 1500 Km... we seem to have bought very, very expensive home defence fighters.

Who is going to pay for this corruption, this incompetency and damage?Who will be brought to book?

Do
we start with The Ugly American or his lieutenants like Roskam ?

I wondered the other day how such a destructive Brit
turd like Farage would have fared in the C16th. I doubt his damage to "The
Crown" and its peoples because of his Brexit push would allow him to sail
off unscathed into the sunset... I rather think that Hang, Drawing and
Quartering might have been the order of the day.
